Abstract

Let $V$ be a valuation ring of a global field $K$. We show that for all positive integers $k$ and $1 < n_1 \leq \ldots \leq n_k$ there exists an integer-valued polynomial on $V$, that is, an element of $\text{Int}(V) = \{ f \in K[X] \mid f(V) \subseteq V \}$, which has precisely $k$ essentially different factorizations into irreducible elements of $\text{Int}(V)$ whose lengths are exactly $n_1,\ldots,n_k$. In fact, we show more, namely that the same result holds true for every discrete valuation domain $V$ with finite residue field such that the quotient field of $V$ admits a valuation ring independent of $V$ whose maximal ideal is principal or whose residue field is finite. If the quotient field of $V$ is a purely transcendental extension of an arbitrary field, this property is satisfied. This solves an open problem proposed by Cahen, Fontana, Frisch and Glaz in these cases.

Let $V$ be a valuation ring of a global field $K$. We show that for all positive integers $k$ and $1 < n_1 \leq \ldots \leq n_k$ there exists an integer-valued polynomial on $V$, that is, an element of $\text{Int}(V) = \{ f \in K[X] \mid f(V) \subseteq V \}$, which has precisely $k$ essentially different factorizations into irreducible elements of $\text{Int}(V)$ whose lengths are exactly $n_1,\ldots,n_k$. In fact, we show more, namely that the same result holds true for every discrete valuation domain $V$ with finite residue field such that the quotient field of $V$ admits a valuation ring independent of $V$ whose maximal ideal is principal or whose residue field is finite. If the quotient field of $V$ is a purely transcendental extension of an arbitrary field, this property is satisfied. This solves an open problem proposed by Cahen, Fontana, Frisch and Glaz in these cases.
